Introduction
System Design
The 590 Series Converter is designed for use in a suitable enclosure, with associated control
equipment. The unit accepts standard three-phase ac supply voltages in the range 110V to 660V,
depending upon the model, and is suitable for the powering of DC shunt field and permanent
magnet motors, providing controlled dc output voltage and current for armature and field.
All units are designed for simple and economical panel mounting using keyhole slots. Plug-in
control connectors simplify the fitting and removal of the unit to the panel.
Where possible, standard parts are used throughout the range thereby reducing the variety of
spare parts required to maintain a multi-drive system. For example, the same basic control
boards are used in all types of three-phase armature controller regardless of horsepower or
bridge configuration.
The control circuit is totally isolated from the power circuit thus simplifying the interconnection
of controllers within a system and improving operator safety. The coding circuitry adjusts
automatically to accept supply frequencies between 45-65Hz and possesses high immunity to
supply-borne interference. The armature controllers are phase rotation insensitive.

Control and Communications


The Converter is controlled by a 16 bit Microcontroller providing advanced features such as:
• Complex control algorithms which are not achievable by simple analog techniques.
• Software-configurable control circuitry built around standard software blocks.
• Serial link communications with other drives or a PC for advanced process systems.
The integral Man-Machine Interface (MMI), with a two-line 16 character display, is a powerful
diagnostic tool. It provides access to all alarms, inputs and principal software blocks in the
controller, whilst the front panel LED indicators give an immediate status display of the drive,
key inputs and outputs.

Regenerative and Non-Regenerative Models


The motor armature controllers include both regenerative and non-regenerative models:
• Regenerative controllers consist of two fully-controlled thyristor bridges and a field bridge
with full transient and overload protection, together with sophisticated electronic control of
acceleration and deceleration, speed and torque in both directions of rotation.
• Non-regenerative controllers consist of one fully-controlled thyristor bridge and a field
bridge with full transient and overload protection, together with its associated electronic
control circuitry, and provide accurate speed and/or torque control in one selected direction
of rotation.

Field Regulator
A field regulator is fitted as standard. The regulator consists of a full-wave half controlled single
phase thyristor bridge with transient and overload protection. It provides either a fixed voltage
or fixed current source, depending upon the selected mode of operation for constant torque
applications. The field current mode of operation can be further enhanced to provide field
weakening for drive control motors which require extended speed or constant horsepower
control.

1-2 Getting Started

Equipment Inspection and Storage


• Check for signs of transit damage
• Check the product code on the rating label conforms to your requirement.
If the unit is not being installed immediately, store the unit in a well-ventilated place away from
high temperatures, humidity, dust, or metal particles.
Refer to Chapter 2: “An Overview of the Converter” to check the rating label/product code.
Refer to Chapter 8: “Routine Maintenance and Repair” for information on returning damaged
goods.
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Environmental Details for the storage
temperature.

Packaging and Lifting Details


Caution
The packaging is combustible and, if disposed of in this manner incorrectly, may lead to
the generation of lethal toxic fumes.

Save the packaging in case of return. Improper packaging can result in transit damage.
Use a safe and suitable lifting procedure when moving the drive. Never lift the drive by its
terminal connections. The larger drives are fitted with lifting points.
Prepare a clear, flat surface to receive the drive before attempting to move it. Do not damage
any terminal connections when putting the drive down.
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Mechanical Details for unit weights.

About this Manual


This manual is intended for use by the installer, user and programmer of the 590 Converter. It
assumes a reasonable level of understanding in these three disciplines.
Note: Please read all Safety Information before proceeding with the installation and operation
of this unit.
Enter the “Model No” from the rating label into the table at the front of this manual. There is
also a column for you to record your application’s parameter settings in the table in Chapter 10.
It is important that you pass this manual on to any new user of this unit.
This manual is for the following models from the 590 Converter Series:
• Three phase, regenerative, four quadrant armature controllers:
590 - for currents up to 720A
598 - external stack option for currents exceeding 720A
• Three phase non-regenerative, two quadrant armature controllers:
591 - for currents up to 720A
599 - external stack option for currents exceeding 720A
• 590H and 591H (further detail is provided in the separate Addendum manual)

Initial Steps

AN OVERVIEW OF THE CONVERTER

How it Works
Note: Refer to Chapter 9: “Control Loops” for a more detailed explanation.
In very simple terms, the Converter controls the dc motor with the use of Control Loops - an
inner Current Loop and an outer Speed Loop. These control loops can be seen in the Application
Block Diagram. The block diagram shows all the Converter’s software connections.

Using the Man-Machine Interface (MMI), you can select the control loops to be used by the
Converter to provide either:
• Current Control
• Speed Control (default)

It is usual to supply a Current or Speed Feedback signal to the appropriate loop for more
effective control of the Converter. Current Feedback sensors are built-in, whereas Speed
Feedback is provided directly from the armature sensing circuit (default), or by tachogenerator,
encoder or Microtach connection to the relevant option board.

The Converter is controlled remotely using digital/analog inputs and outputs. It cannot be
directly stopped or started using the MMI.
A remote 5721 Operator Station can also be connected. This allows you to read and write to
many of the drive’s parameters from outside the cubicle if required.

3-2 Installing the Converter
Mounting the Converter
General installation details are given below for mounting the Converter, however, if you are
installing the unit with an EMC filter refer to “ External AC Supply EMC Filter Installation”,
26H

page 3- 17.
27H

Mount the unit vertically on a solid, flat, vertical surface. It is mounted using bolts or screws
into four fixing points (keyhole slots). The design allows the use of 100mm grid fixing.
It must be mounted inside a suitable cubicle. To comply with the European safety standards
VDE 0160 (1994)/EN50178 (1998), the cubicle must require a tool for opening.

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements


Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Cooling.
The Converter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the
free flow of air through the air entries and exits. Maintain the minimum air clearances given on
the drawings to ensure that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to the
Converter, be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance requirements. When
mounting two or more 590’s together, these clearances are cumulative.
Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
Refer to Chapter 13: “Standard and Optional Equipment” - Heatsink Cooling Fan Connections
for fan connection details.

AC Line Choke
We recommend that you always use the specified ac line choke with the Converter
to provide a known supply impedance for effective operation of the thyristor transient
suppression circuits.
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - External AC Supply (RFI) Filters and Line
Choke for selection details.

Minimum Connection Requirements
Note: Because of the complexity of showing all possible configurations, this Chapter deals only
with a `general purpose’ operation as a basic speed controller. Special wiring options
usually form part of a customer-specific system and connection details will be provided
separately.
The circuit diagram over the page uses bold lines to show the MINIMUM
minimum connection requirements for operating the Converter. CONNECTION
REQUIREMENT
These connection details are highlighted 1 to 9 in the following text
with the symbol opposite. The remaining connection details are not
necessary for a “quick start-up”.
The Converter is using the default Armature Voltage feedback when following the
`minimum connection’ instructions.

IMPORTANT: Indicator lamps, annunciators, etc., for "Drive On" condition should be switched by an
auxiliary contactor of the main contactor, not by the controller auxiliary relay.
To avoid damaging the drive NEVER carry out high voltage resistance or dielectric
strength tests without first completely disconnecting the drive from the circuit being tested.

• Power cables must have a minimum rating of 1.1 x full load current. (1.25 x FLC when
required to comply with UL requirements).
• All incoming main AC power supply connections must be protected with high speed
semiconductor fuses. Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” for fuse information.
• The External AC Supply EMC Filter must only be fitted on the mains side of the contactor.

IMPORTANT: The VSD and filter (if fitted) must be permanently earthed. Each conductor used for
permanent earthing must individually meet the requirements for a protective earth
conductor.
For installations to EN 60204 in Europe:
• For permanent earthing, the converter requires either two individual incoming protective
earth conductors (<10mm² cross-section), or one conductor (≥10mm² cross-section)
connected to an independent protective earth/ground point near the drive.
• Run the motor protective earth/ground connection in parallel with the motor supply
conductors, ideally in the same conduit/screen/armour, and connect to an independent
protective earth/ground point near the drive.
• Connect the drive to the independent earth/ground point.
Refer to Chapter 12: “Certification for the Converter” - Screening & Earthing (cubicle mounted,
Class B).
NOTE: The 720/800A chassis requires two individual incoming protective earth conductors to
the filter using the two M8 terminals provided. BOTH MUST BE CONNECTED TO
PROTECTIVE EARTH.
Protect the incoming mains supply, detailed in Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Power

Setpoint Ramp Input (A4, A6, B3, B4)


7
MINIMUM
CONNECTION
For normal operation the speed demand signal is connected to the REQUIREMENT
"Setpoint Ramp Input", terminal A4 (Analog I/P3). This input is
scaled so that:
+10V input = maximum forward speed demand (+100%) A8 B4 A4 B3 A6
- 10V input = maximum reverse speed demand (-100%)
The speed demand signal can be generated by connecting the two ends
of an external 10K potentiometer to the +10V reference terminal
B3 and -10V reference terminal B4, the wiper of the potentiometer
being connected to the "Setpoint Ramp Input" as the speed
reference.
The main current limit is adjustable by means of the MAIN 10K
CURR. LIMIT parameter [Tag No. 15]. For normal operation of SET
the main current limit, Terminal A6 should be connected to the SPEED
+10V reference, Terminal B3, and the CURR. LIMIT/SCALER
should be set to 200%. This allows the MAIN CURR. LIMIT MMI Menu Map
parameter to adjust the current limit between 0 and 200% full load 1 SETUP PARAMETERS
current. If external control of the main current limit is required, a 10K
potentiometer connected between Terminal B3 (+10V Ref) and 2 CURRENT LOOP
Terminal B1(0V), with the wiper connected to Terminal A6 (Analog CURR. LIMIT/SCALER
I/P5) gives 0 to 200% of full load current provided that MAIN MAIN CURR. LIMIT
CURR. LIMIT and CUR. LIMIT/SCALER are set to 200%.

fitted.
We recommend that you protect the dc motor against overtemperature by
C1 C2 G4 F1
the use of temperature sensitive resistors or switches in the field and
interpole windings of the machine.
If the motor is fitted with over-temperature sensing devices such as
thermostats, microtherms or PTC thermistors, these should be connected
(in series) between terminals C1 and C2. Thermistors must have a
combined working resistance of 200 Ohms or less, rising to 2000 Ohms at
over-temperature. These thermistors are classified by IEC34-II as Mark THERMISTOR
A.
• Temperature sensitive resistors have a low resistance (typically 100 Ohms) up to a reference
temperature (typically 125°C), above this the resistance rises rapidly to greater than 2000
Ohms. The controller’s thermistor alarm will activate at 1800 Ohms.
Temperature switches are usually normally closed, and open at approximately 105°C. The
thermistor alarm is latched in software and must be reset by re-starting the Converter.

order to allow the drive to run. REQUIREMENT

Start
The basic run/start sequence of the controller
is provided by Terminal C3 (Start/Run),
EMERGENCY
although other safeguards for extra protection STOP
are provided by Terminal B8 (Program Stop) RELAY
and Terminal B9 (Coast Stop).
START
ENABLE /RUN
Assuming that the Program Stop and Coast
Stop terminals are held TRUE, then a single
contact connected between Terminal C9
(+24V) and Terminal C3 (Start/Run) when
closed will cause the controller to energise
A1 B9 B8 C5 C3 C9
the Main Contactor and, provided Terminal
C5 (Enable) is also TRUE, will run the
associated DC motor.

When the single contact to Terminal C3 (Start/Run) is opened, the controller will decelerate the
motor to zero speed at a rate determined by the STOP TIME parameter’s value and the MAIN
CURR. LIMIT value. Refer to Chapter 6: “Application Programming” - STOP RATES for
further information.

Note: The Enable input is useful to inhibit the drive without opening the main contactor,
however, it is not a safe mode of operation as the drive dc output is only reduced to
zero. If the equipment controlled by the drive is to be serviced, then this method should
be avoided and the drive disabled and isolated.
A regenerative drive can be stopped using a Normal Stop, a Program Stop, or an
Emergency Stop, as described below. However, a non-regenerative drive can only be made
to stop faster than friction and loading will allow by Dynamic Braking.

Normal Stop
If the +24V is removed from Terminal C3 whilst the drive is controlling the motor under "Run"
conditions, the controller will cause the motor to decelerate rapidly to rest at a rate determined
by STOP LIMIT, STOP TIME and CURR. LIMIT.

Program Stop

590D DC Digital Converter - HA467078


3-12 Installing the Converter
If the +24V is removed from Terminal B8 whilst the drive is controlling the motor under "Run"
conditions, the controller will cause the motor to decelerate rapidly to rest at a rate determined
by PROG STOP I LIM, PROG STOP LIMIT and PROG STOP TIME. If the signal is re-
applied to Terminal B8, the motor remains stationary until a new Start command is applied to
Terminal C3 (Start/Run).

Emergency Stop
Additional terminals, Terminal B8 (Program Stop) and Terminal B9 (Coast Stop), provide extra
facilities for the control of the regenerative controller:

• Terminal B9 (Coast Stop) must be held at +24V to allow closure of the main contactor, the
connection provides the power supply to allow the electronics to operate the auxiliary relay
and hence the main contactor.

Connect Terminal B9 (Coast Stop) to Terminal C9 (+24V) via a normally open contact of an
"emergency" stop relay. The emergency stop relay should not be part of the normal
sequencing of the system, which is implemented via the Start contacts, but is a relay which
can be operated in exceptional circumstances where human safety is of paramount
importance.

• Terminal B8 (Program Stop) provides a facility for regenerative braking on a 4 Quadrant


drive (590 and 598).

Motor Field Connections
The FIELD CONTROL function block controls the motor field. The FLD CTRL MODE IS
parameter allows you to select either Voltage or Current Control mode.
• In Voltage Control mode, the RATIO OUT/IN parameter is used to scale the motor field
output voltage as a percentage of the input supply voltage.
• In Current Control mode, the SETPOINT parameter is used to set an absolute motor field
output current, expressed as a percentage of the calibrated field current (IF CAL).

Internal/External Supply
The internal motor field is more widely used, however, there is provision on the Control Board
for an external motor field supply to be connected (perhaps for where the field voltage is greater
than the input voltage and therefore not attainable, or where the motor field is switched
separately for convenience).

Note: For information about the following power boards refer to Chapter 11: “Technical
Specifications” - Power Board Types, and Terminal Information (Power Board).

External AC Supply EMC Filter Installation


Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Environmental Details, and External AC
Supply (RFI) Filters and Line Choke for selection details.
A filter is used with the Converter to reduce the line conducted emissions produced by the
Converter. Filters are used in parallel on the higher current Converters. When installed correctly
and used with the specified 2% minimum line chokes, conformance with EN55011 Class A can
be achieved (suitable for both generic environments: RF Emission and Immunity).

Cubicle-Mounting the 590 Converter with Filter

WARNING!
Do not touch filter terminals or cabling for at least 3 minutes after removing the
ac supply.

The CO389456 filter flying leads can reach 100°C under normal operating
conditions. Leads should be separated to at least one cable diameter and adequately
ventilated. Never bunch leads together.

Only use the ac supply filter with a permanent earth connection.

The filter should be fitted on the mains side of the contactor.

The Converter must be mounted vertically on a solid, flat, vertical surface. It must be installed
into a cubicle.
The recommended EMC filter is mounted to the left, right, above, below, or spaced behind the
Converter. It can be mounted flat against the surface, or projecting out from the surface if the
filter type has side fixings.
1. Mount the filter securely at the four fixing points (flat or on its side).
2. Mount the Converter next to the filter, allowing for the required airgap between the
Converter, the filter and any adjacent equipment.

Note: When filters CO389456 are mounted in parallel, they should be spaced 40mm apart for
ventilation.

590D DC Digital Converter - HA467078


3-18 Installing the Converter
Connection Details
The connection between the Converter, choke and filter must always be as short as possible and
must be segregated from all other cables. Ideally, mount the filter and choke onto the same
metallic panel as the Converter. Take care not to obstruct any ventilation spacing.
If this cable/busbar exceeds 0.6m in length, it must be replaced with a screened/armoured cable.
The screen/armour must be earthed at both the filter, choke and Converter ends with large-area
contact surfaces, preferably with metal cable glands.
You should enhance the RF connection between the Converter, choke, filter and panel as
follows:
1. Remove any paint/insulation between the mounting points of the EMC filter, choke,
Converter and the panel. Liberally apply petroleum jelly over the mounting points and
securing threads. This will prevent corrosion. Alternatively, conducting paint could be used
on the panel.
2. If 1 above is not possible, then improve the RF earth bond between the filter and Converter
by making an additional RF earth connection. Use wire braid of at least 10mm² cross-
sectional area.
Note: Metal surfaces, such as anodised or yellow chromed (with cable mounting or 35mm
DIN rails, screws and bolts) have a high impedance which can be very detrimental to
EMC performance.
3. A low RF impedance path must be provided between the motor frame and back panel on
which the drive, choke and EMC filters are mounted. This low impedance RF path should
follow the path of the motor cables in order to minimise the loop area. Failure to do so will
result in increased conducted emissions.

A low RF impedance path will normally be achieved by:

„ Bonding the armour of the motor supply cables at one end to the motor frame, and at the
other end to the cubicle back panel. Ideally 360o bonding is required, which can be achieved
with cable glands, refer to Figure 3-3 360 Degree Screened Connection, page 3- 3.
32H 33H

„ Ensuring that conduit containing the motor supply cables are bonded together using braid.
The conduit should also be bonded to the motor frame and the cubicle back panel.
Earthing Details
The protective earth (PE) conductor exiting the filter must be connected to the protective earth
connection of the Converter. Any additional RF earth, such as a cable screen, is not a
protective earth. The EMC filter must be permanently earthed to prevent the risk of electric
shock under abnormal operating instances (such as the loss of one phase of the ac supply).
You can achieve permanent earthing by either:
• using a copper protective earth conductor of at least 10mm²
• installing a second conductor, in parallel connection with the protective conductor, to a
separate protective earth terminal
Each conductor must independently meet the requirements for a protective earth conductor.

Operating Conditions
The recommended EMC filters operate from normal three-phases supplies which are balanced
with respect to earth (earth referenced supplies - TN). This minimises the earth leakage current
due to the filter capacitors between phase and earth.
IMPORTANT: We do not recommend the use of ac supply filters on non earth-referenced supplies - IT.
The supplies cause earth leakage currents to increase, and interfere with the operation of
earth fault monitoring equipment. In addition, EMC performance of the filter is
degraded.
As with all power electronic drives, conducted emissions increase with motor cable length.
EMC conformance is only guaranteed up to a cable length of 50m. The cable length can be
increased. Refer to Parker SSD Drives for more information.

590D DC Digital Converter - HA467078


Installing the Converter 3-19
Earth Fault Monitoring Systems
WARNING!
Circuit breakers used with VSDs and other similar equipment are not suitable for
personnel protection. Use another means to provide personal safety. Refer to
EN50178 (1998) / VDE0160 (1994) / EN60204-1 (1994)

We do not recommend the use of circuit breakers (e.g. RCD, ELCB, GFCI), but where their use
is mandatory, they should:
• Operate correctly with dc and ac protective earth currents (i.e. type B RCDs as in
Amendment 2 of IEC755).
• Have adjustable trip amplitude and time characteristics to prevent nuisance tripping on
switch-on.
When the ac supply is switched on, a pulse of current flows to earth to charge the EMC filter
internal capacitors which are connected between phase and earth. This has been minimised in
Parker SSD Drives filters, but may still trip out any circuit breaker in the earth system. In
addition, high frequency and dc components of earth leakage currents will flow under normal
operating conditions. Under certain fault conditions larger dc protective earth currents may flow.
The protective function of some circuit breakers cannot be guaranteed under such operating
conditions.

Pre-Operation Checks
Initial checks before applying power:
• Mains power supply voltage is correct.
• Auxiliary power supply voltage is correct.
• Motor is of correct armature voltage and current rating.
• Check all external wiring circuits - power, control, motor and earth connections.
Note: Completely disconnect the Converter before point-to-point checking with a buzzer, or
when checking insulation with a Meggar.
• Check for damage to equipment.
• Check for loose ends, clippings, drilling swarf etc. lodged in the Converter and system.
• If possible check that the motor can be turned freely, and that any cooling fans are intact and
free from obstruction.

Ensure the safety of the complete system before the Converter is energised:
• Ensure that rotation of the motor in either direction will not cause damage.
• Ensure that nobody else is working on another part of the system which will be affected by
powering up.
• Ensure that other equipment will not be adversely affected by powering up.

Prepare to energise the Converter and system as follows:


• Remove the main external HRC fuses to prevent the main 3-phase and single phase auxiliary
supply from being connected.
• Disconnect the load from the motor shaft, if possible.
• If any of the Converter’s control terminals are not being used, check whether these unused
terminals need to be tied high or low. Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications”-
Control Terminals.
• If there is any doubt about the integrity of a particular installation, insert a high wattage
resistor, i.e. fire elements, in series with the motor armature.
• Check external run contacts are open.
• Check external speed setpoints are all zero.

Calculate the tacho voltage by multiplying the required maximum speed by the tacho calibration
factor, e.g. motor speed 1500 rpm and tacho calibration factor 60V per 1000 rpm is 90V.
The tacho calibration volts are set using the 2 in-line switches (10-way). The switches set Volts
in units and tens. The hundreds are set by the 1-way switch. The illustration above shows a
setting of 90V.
Note: Do not set the calibration volts to greater than 200V, the maximum terminal block rating.
Calibration for Voltages greater than 200V
For full speed tacho voltages greater than 200V, an external resistor, value RE, is required in
series with the tachogenerator connection to terminal G3.
Set the switches on the Tacho Calibration Option Board to give a value of 200V, as shown

• The MMI displays the message AUTOTUNE ERROR
If during the Autotune sequence the motor speed feedback is greater than 20% of rated
speed, or the field current is detected above 6% of rated field current, then the Autotune
sequence is suspended causing the main contactor to drop out.
Note: Refer to Chapter 9: “Control Loops” - Current Control for manual tuning instructions.

Speed Loop
You will need to adjust the Speed Loop for your particular application although in most cases
the default settings are acceptable.
The optimum Speed Loop performance is achieved by adjusting the PROP. GAIN and INT.

Produce a small step-change to the speed setpoint and observe the response on the
tachogenerator feedback. If the Converter is using Microtach/Encoder feedback, then the speed
response can be monitored on Terminal A7.
Adjust the two parameters until you have rapid change of speed feedback between the setpoint
values, but with minimum overshoot.

the current demand reverses.
• If the Converter is “regenerative” (4-quad - 590, 598) then it can stop faster because it uses
energy from the load, i.e. reverse current is allowed to flow.

Normal Stop and Program Stop are only relevant for a “regenerative” controller.

Special Menu Features


Menu Viewing Levels
For ease of operation there are two `viewing levels` for the MMI: full view or reduced view.
The setting for the viewing level decides how much of the menu system will be displayed.

Refer to “The Menu System Map”, page 5-4 to see how the viewing level changes the displayed
menu.

To change the viewing level, go to the MENUS menu. The first parameter in this menu, FULL
MENUS selects the viewing level.
• Select DISABLED to use the reduced menu system.
• Select ENABLED to use the full menu system.
Selecting the Display Language
There is an option to select a different display language.
The choice of display language is selected by the LANGUAGE parameter in MENUS menu.
Remember to perform a PARAMETER SAVE if you need the new language to be saved on
power-down.
The available languages are: ENGLISH and FRENCH. However, other languages are available
by contacting Parker SSD Drives.

Password Protection
When in force, the password prevents unauthorised parameter modification by making all
parameters “read-only”. If you attempt to modify a password protected parameter, it will cause
“PASSWORD ??” to flash on the display. By default, the password feature is disabled, i.e.
0x0000.
There are two password parameters, stored in the PASSWORD menu at level 1:
ENTER PASSWORD and CHANGE PASSWORD.

The ENTER PASSWORD and CHANGE PASSWORD values are hidden by “XXXX” until
you press the M key to begin editing the parameter.

To Activate Password Protection


1. Use the ↑ (UP) and ↓ (DOWN) keys in the CHANGE CHANGE
1 PASSWORD
PASSWORD parameter to set a password (anything
other than 0000). Press the E key to exit the parameter. 0x0000 1

2. Move to the ENTER PASSWORD parameter. Enter


any number other than the password and press the E
key to exit. The system is now `password locked’. ENTER
1 PASSWORD

0x0000

Having activated the password protection, you can no


longer edit the CHANGE PASSWORD parameter until you deactivate the password protection.

To Deactivate Password Protection


Enter the current password in the ENTER PASSWORD
parameter. Press the E key to exit.
ENTER

This clears the value of the password in the CHANGE


PASSWORD menu and instead displays “****”.
Note: At default the password is 0000, password protection is not activated because 0000 is
the value for both CHANGE PASSWORD and ENTER PASSWORD.

Programming Your Application 6-1
6 PROGRAMMING YOUR APPLICATION
Programming with Block Diagrams
You can program the Converter for specific applications using the MMI or suitable
programming tool, such as “ConfigEd Lite” which is Parker SSD Drives’ block programming
software.
The Converter is supplied with a basic set-up which can be used as a starting point for
application-specific programming. This programming could simply involve the inputting of
parameter values, or it may require the making or breaking of programmable links, which is a
feature of this unit.
Block diagram programming provides a visual method of planning the software to suit your
application. The basic block diagram is provided in Chapter 15 and shows the software
connections consisting of function blocks and links:
• Each function block contains the parameters required for setting-up a particular processing
feature. Sometimes more than one function block is provided for a feature, i.e. for multiple
digital inputs.
• Software links are used to connect the function blocks. Each link transfers the value of an
output parameter to an input parameter of another (or the same) function block.
Each individual block is a processing feature, i.e. it takes the input parameter, processes the
information, and makes the result available as one or more output parameters.

Modifying a Block Diagram


Configuration and Parameterisation Modes
There are two modes of operation used while modifying a block MMI Menu Map
diagram: Parameterisation and Configuration modes. 1 SYSTEM

The CONFIGURE ENABLE command is used to toggle between 2 CONFIGURE I/O


these two modes of operation.
CONFIGURE ENABLE

Parameterisation Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = DISABLED)


In parameterisation mode you can change parameter values. The Converter can be
DEFAULT running or stopped. Note that some parameters can only be changed when the
Converter is stopped. It is not possible to modify the internal links when the Converter
is in parameterisation mode.

Configuration Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = ENABLED)


In the configuration mode you can modify the links in the function block diagram.
You can also change parameter values, as above. The Converter cannot run in this
mode.

Making and Breaking Links in Configuration Mode


Links can be moved, added or deleted from a block diagram whilst in the Configuration mode.
There are 12 links available, each has its own identification number (“link” number). You make
a link by setting the link’s “source” and “destination” tags to be the two parameter tag numbers
to be linked. The outputs of function blocks are not updated whilst in this mode.
Note: Links 11 and 12 can be configured to perform one of a number of basic functions upon
the source and/or auxiliary source tag values, to be output at the selected destination tag.

Programming Rules
The following rules apply when programming:

Parameterisation Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = DISABLED)

590 Series DC Digital Converter


6-2 Programming Your Application
• Function block output parameter values cannot be changed (because they are a result of the
function block’s processing)
• Function block input parameter values that receive their values from a link cannot be
changed (as they will change back to the value they receive from the link when the
Converter is running).

Configuration Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = ENABLED)


• A link’s destination tag must be set to an input parameter (only one link per input
parameter).
• A link’s source tag may be set to any parameter. Both input and output parameters can be
used as a source.
• Disable a link/function block by setting the “destination” and “source” tag to zero.

Saving Your Modifications


Ensure that CONFIGURE ENABLE = DISABLED before performing a PARAMETER SAVE.
If parameter values or links have been modified, the new settings must be saved. The Converter
will then retain the new settings during power-down. Refer to Chapter 5: “The Man-Machine
Interface (MMI)” - Saving Your Application.

Hexadecimal Representation of Trips


The HEALTH WORD and HEALTH STORE parameters use a four digit hexadecimal number
to identify individual trips. Each trip has a unique corresponding number as shown below.
Trip Trip Code
Digit 4 Digit 3 Digit 2 Digit 1
0 OVERSPEED 1
1 MISSING PULSE 2
2 FIELD OVER I 4
3 HEATSINK TRIP 8
4 THERMISTOR 1
5 OVERVOLTS (VA) 2

10 PHASE LOCK 4
11 5703 RCV ERROR 8
12 STALL TRIP 1
13 OVER I TRIP 2
14 Not used 4
15 ACCTS FAILED 8

Decimal number Display When more than one trip is to be represented at the
10 A same time then the trip codes are simply added together
11 B to form the value displayed. Within each digit, values
12 C between 10 and 15 are displayed as letters A to F
13 D
14 E
15 F For example, if the HEALTH WORD parameter is
01A8 then this represents a “1” in digit 3, an “8” and a
“2” in digit 2, (8+2 = 10, displayed as A) and an 8 in digit 1. This in turn represents the active
trips FIELD FAILED, ENCODER FAILED, OVERVOLTS (VA) and HEATSINK TRIP (an
unlikely situation).

SPEED LOOP:: SETPOINTS:: RATIO 2 (A3) input, and the SETUP PARAMETER:: CURRENT
LOOP:: I DMD. ISOLATE switch. Refer to Chapter 15: The Default Application” block
diagram for more information.
Tag 493 allows access to the calibrated value of ANIN 2 (via an internal link for
example). To avoid interference with other drive functions the parameter RATIO 2 (A3)
must be set to zero, and the I DMD. ISOLATE parameter must be set to DISABLED, i.e.
selecting the Speed Loop as shown in the main block diagram.
ANIN 2 (A3) is a direct input into the speed loop/current loop and is scanned
synchronously with the current loop (typically every 3.33ms) rather than every micro cycle
time (typically 7ms). Therefore it should be used for any signal whose response is critical
e.g. a trim input from a digital speed and position locking system.

Parameter Descriptions
ARMATURE V CAL Range: 0.9800 to 1.1000
Trim adjustment of the motor armature volts to give exactly 100% at the required actual voltage
value (e.g. 460V etc.).
Note: - Primary voltage calibration is achieved by adjusting VA calibration values using SW7.
IR COMPENSATION Range: 0.00 to 100.00 %
Compensation for motor IR drop to improve regulation when using armature voltage feedback as
the speed feedback.
ENCODER RPM Range: 0 to 6000 RPM
Motor top speed setting when using encoder feedback.
ENCODER LINES Range: 10 to 5000
The 5901 Microtach has 1000 lines per revolution as standard. Proprietary encoders of other
specifications can be normalised by setting this parameter as appropriate.
ANALOG TACH CAL Range: 0.9800 to 1.1000
Trim adjustment of the motor speed to give exactly 100% at the required actual speed value (e.g.
1500 RPM etc). Note: Primary tacho calibration is achieved by adjusting SW1 - 3 on the tacho
calibration board.
ZERO SPD. OFFSET Range: -5.00 to 5.00 %
If the speed feedback is not zero when the drive is stationary (possibly due to hardware offsets
etc.) the setting of this parameter to the value of the offset will result in a zero reading from the
speed feedback.
ARMATURE I (A9) Range: UNIPOLAR/BIPOLAR
Selects operation of the current meter output (terminal A9), either bipolar or unipolar.
SPDFBK ALM LEVEL Range: 0.0 to 100.0 %
The speed feedback alarm compares speed feedback to armature voltage. The alarm level is the
threshold which the difference between the two signals should exceed for the alarm to activate.

CURRENT CONTROL
There are two field control modes:
(a) Field Voltage Control is an open loop phase angle control to give a certain
voltage output.
(b) Field Current Control is a closed loop current control for accurate field
control or expansion to field weakening.

RATIO OUT/IN Range: 0.00 to 100.00 %


This parameter controls the output voltage from the open loop voltage control. The ratio is
defined as the DC output voltage over the AC RMS input voltage.
The default setting is equivalent to a single-phase diode rectifier.
SETPOINT Range: 0.00 to 100.00 %
Field current setpoint.
PROP. GAIN Range: 0.00 to 100.00
This is the proportional gain adjustment of the field current PI loop. The default of 0.10 is
equivalent to a real gain of 10.
INT. GAIN Range: 0.00 to 100.00
This is the integral gain adjustment of the field current PI loop.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


6-28 Programming Your Application

FLD. WEAK ENABLE Range: ENABLED/DISABLED


Activates the additional motor back emf PID loop for field weakening (field spillover) control.
EMF LEAD Range: 0.10 to 50.00
With field weakening control enabled, a PID loop is brought into operation. This is the lead time
constant adjustment of the field weakening PID loop.
With a default of 2.00, real time constant = 200ms.
EMF LAG Range: 0.00 to 200.00
This is the lag time constant adjustment of the field weakening PID loop
With a default of 4.00, real time constant = 4000ms.
EMF GAIN Range: 0.00 to 100.00
This is the gain adjustment of the field weakening PID loop.
With a default of 3.00, real gain = 30.
MIN FLD CURRENT Range: 0.00 to 100.00 %
The field weakening loop reduces the field current to achieve speed control above base speed. At
top speed the field reaches a minimum value. The Min Fld Current should be set below this
minimum value to allow reasonable margin for transient control near the top speed but not lower
than 6% as this could then cause the "Field Fail" alarm to operate.
MAX VOLTS Range: 0.00 to 100.00 %
Maximum volts is the voltage level at which field weakening begins. It is also known as
"Spillover Bias". The default value is 100% of the nominal value as set by the armature voltage
calibration value. For commissioning purposes this value can be set to another (lower) desirable
level. Subsequently, it is advisable to return it to 100% for normalisation.
BEMF FBK LEAD Range: 10 to 5000 (ms)
This is the lead time constant of the back emf feedback filter which is used for reducing
armature voltage overshoots when accelerating fast through base speed.
BEMF FBK LAG Range: 10 to 5000 (ms)
This is the lag time constant of the above feedback filter. If the filter is active, the ratio of lead /
lag should always be greater than 1 to give an overall lead action which reduces the voltage
overshoot and less than, typically, 3 for stable control. The default values 100/100 = 1 cancel
each other and make the filter inactive.
FLD QUENCH DELAY Range: 0.00 to 600.00 SECS
If dynamic breaking is used the field must be maintained for a period after the drive is disabled.
The field quench delay is the period of time which the field is maintained for.
FLD. QUENCH MODE Range: QUENCH/STANDBY
After the field quench delay has expired, the field can be entirely quenched or put into a standby
mode at 50% of rated current or volts depending whether in current or voltage control mode
respectively. (The default standby value of 50% can be modified through the "SYSTEM /
Reserved" Menu which is primarily for factory use only and requires the “super” password.)

Parameter Descriptions
PROP. GAIN Range: 0.0 to 100.0
This is a pure gain factor which shifts up or down the whole Bode PID transfer function leaving
the time constants unaffected. A value of P = 10.0 means that, for an error of 5%, the
proportional part (initial step) of the PID output will be:
10 x [ 1 + (Td/Ti) ] x 5 % , i.e. approx. 50% for Td << Ti.
INT. TIME CONST. Range: 1.000s to 10.000s
The integrator time constant (Ti)
DERIVATIVE TC Range: 0.000s to 10.000s
The differentiator time constant (Td). When Td = 0 the transfer function of the block becomes a
P+I.
POSITIVE LIMIT Range: 0.00% to 105.00%
The upper limit of the PID algorithm.
NEGATIVE LIMIT Range: -105.00% to 0.00%
The lower limit of the PID algorithm.
O/P SCALER (TRIM) Range: -3.0000 to 3.0000
The ratio which the limited PID output is multiplied by in order to give the final PID Output.
Normally this ratio would be between 0 and 1.
INPUT 1 Range: -300.00% to 300.00%
This can be either a position/tension feedback or a reference/offset.
INPUT 2 Range: -300.00% to 300.00%
This can be either a position/tension feedback or a reference/offset
RATIO 1 Range: -3.0000 to 3.0000
This multiplies Input 1 by a factor (Ratio 1).
RATIO 2 Range: -3.0000 to 3.0000
This multiplies Input 2 by a factor (Ratio 2).

DIVIDER 1 Range: -3.0000 to 3.0000


This divides Input 1 by a factor (Divider 1).
DIVIDER 2 Range: -3.0000 to 3.0000
This divides Input 2 by a factor (Divider 2).
ENABLE Range: ENABLED/DISABLED
A digital input which resets the (total) PID Output as well as the integral term when FALSE.
INT. DEFEAT Range: ON/OFF
A digital input which resets the integral term when TRUE. The block transfer function then
becomes P+D only.
FILTER T.C. Range: 0.000s to 10.000s
In order to attenuate high-frequency noise a first order filter is added in conjunction with the
differentiator. The ratio k of the Derivative Time Constant (Td) over the Filter Time Constant
(Tf) (typically 4 or 5) determines the high-frequency lift of the transfer function. For Tf = 0 this
filter is eliminated.
MODE Range: 0 to 4
This determines the law which the profiler follows versus diameter.
For Mode = 0, Profiled Gain = constant = P.
For Mode = 1, Profiled Gain = A * (diameter - min diameter) + B.
For Mode = 2, Profiled Gain = A * (diameter - min diameter)^2 + B.
For Mode = 3, Profiled Gain = A * (diameter - min diameter)^3 + B.
For Mode = 4, Profiled Gain = A * (diameter - min diameter)^4 + B.
MIN PROFILE GAIN Range: 0.00% to 100.00%
This expresses the minimum gain required at min diameter (core) as a percentage of the (max) P
gain at full diameter (100%).
PROFILED GAIN Range: 0.0 to 100.0
The output of a profiler block which varies the gain versus diameter. This is primarily to be used
with Speed Profiled Winders for compensation against varying diameter and therefore inertia.
When MODE is not ZERO (see above) this overrides the P gain above.
PID OUTPUT

PID CLAMPED
Refer to the DIAGNOSTICS function block description, page 6-18.
PID ERROR
Refer to the DIAGNOSTICS function block description, page 6-18.

Functional Description
The following block diagram shows the internal structure of the PID block.

PID is used to control the response of any closed loop system. It is used specifically in system
applications involving the control of drives to allow zero steady state error between Reference
and Feedback, together with good transient performance.
Proportional Gain (PROP. GAIN)
This is used to adjust the basic response of the closed loop control system. It is defined
as the portion of the loop gain fed back to make the complete control loop stable. The
PID error is multiplied by the Proportional Gain to produce an output.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


Programming Your Application 6-41
Integral (INT. TIME CONST.)
The Integral term is used to give zero steady state error between the setpoint and
feedback values of the PID. If the integral is set to a small value, this will cause an
underdamped or unstable control system.
Derivative (DERIVATIVE TC)
This is used to correct for certain types of control loop instability, and therefore
improve response. It is sometimes used when heavy or large inertia rolls are being
controlled. The derivative term has an associated filter to suppress high frequency
signals.

Functional Description
Speed Loop PI Output
The PI output is accessible via Tag No. 356. This point is before the I Limit clamps and the
summing of the additional current demand.
This Tag is not visible on the MMI.

Speed Loop PI with Current Demand Isolate


The speed loop output is still valid (active) with the I DMD. ISOLATE parameter enabled.
Note: 1 The speed loop is reset by unquenching the speed loop/current loop.
2 I DMD. ISOLATE is overridden by Program Stop (B8) or Normal Stop (C3).
3 The speed loop PI is holding the integral term as soon as the PI output reaches
current limit. This is true even in Current Demand Isolate mode where it may
interfere depending on the way the speed PI is used. This feature is currently not
suppressible.
105% Speed Demands
The speed demand clamping allows the speed setpoint to reach 105%. This applies only to the
final summing junction immediately before the speed loop and also to the Setpoint Sum 1
output. Individual speed setpoints are still clamped to 100%.

Trips and Fault Finding 7-1
7 TRIPS AND FAULT FINDING
Trips
What Happens when a Trip Occurs
When a trip occurs, the Converter’s power stage is immediately disabled causing the motor and
load to coast to a stop. The trip is latched until action is taken to reset it. This ensures that trips
due to transient conditions are captured and the Converter is disabled, even when the original
cause of the trip is no longer present.

MMI Indications
If a trip condition is detected the unit displays and performs the following actions.
1. The HEALTH LED goes out indicating a Trip condition has occurred. The MMI displays
the activated alarm. (Investigate, find and remove the cause of the trip.)
2. Terminal B6 (Healthy) goes low (0V).
3. The alarm message(s) can be acknowledged by pressing the E key, however, the unit will
not restart at this point. Refer to Chapter 5: “The Man-Machine Interface (MMI)” - Alarm
Message Displays.

Resetting a Trip Condition


All trips must be reset before the Converter can be re-enabled. A trip can only be reset once the
trip condition is no longer active, i.e. a trip due to a heatsink over-temperature will not reset
until the temperature is below the trip level.
Note: More than one trip can be active at any time. For example, it is possible for both the
HEATSINK TRIP and the OVERVOLTS (VA) trips to be active. Alternatively it is possible for
the Converter to trip due to a FIELD OVER I error and then for the HEATSINK TRIP trip to
become active after the Converter has stopped (this may occur due to the thermal time
constant of the heatsink).
You can reset the trip(s) in one of two ways:
1. Power -up, or remove and re-apply the auxiliary power supply.
2. Stop and start the converter, i.e. remove and re-apply the Start/Run signal (terminal C3 or
C4).
Success is indicated by the MMI’s HEALTH LED illuminating. The display will return to its
original display.

Alarm Messages MMI Menu Map


When a trip occurs an alarm message is displayed on the MMI, and 1 ALARM STATUS
information about the trip is stored in the ALARM STATUS menu. LAST ALARM
The alarm message and the LAST ALARM parameter are displayed HEALTH WORD
in the selected language of the MMI. HEALTH STORE

The HEALTH STORE and HEALTH WORD parameters display information as hexadecimal
values, or the sum of the hexadecimal values when more than one alarm is active. Thus the
unique value can represent one or more alarms. For a list of alarms refer to Chapter 6:
“Programming Your Application” - Hexadecimal Representation of Trips.
Note: Hexadecimal refers to the common practice of counting to the base of 16 in computing
rather than the base of 10. The sixteen `numbers’ used being 0 to 9, A to F. Thus an 8
bit byte is represented by two characters in the range 00 to FF, while a 16 bit word is
represented by four characters in the range 0000 to FFFF.

LAST ALARM
This display shows the last alarm message to have been displayed. To reset the parameter simply
press the ↓ (DOWN) key to clear the alarm. Alternatively, you can switch the auxiliary supply
off and on, causing NO ACTIVE ALARMS to be displayed.

HEALTH WORD
This parameter is used to continuously monitor the status of the Converter. As alarms are added
or removed, the display will immediately update to show the hexadecimal sum of these alarms.
The value reverts to 0x0000 when the Start (C3) input is raised (+24V), and when no trip
condition is present.

HEALTH STORE
This displays the hexadecimal value of the first (or only) alarm to occur causing the trip
condition.
The display reverts to 0x0000 when the Start (C3) input is raised (+24V).

Most of the alarms have a delay timer so that the Converter only trips if the condition persists
for the whole of the delay period.
If the Converter trips, then the display immediately shows a message indicating the reason for
the trip. The possible trip messages are given in the table below.

Principle of Operation

using Digital I/P3 (Terminal C8). If ENABLED the Converter
operates as a current controller, and if DISABLED (the default) it 2 CURRENT LOOP
operates as a speed controller. I DMD ISOLATE

Current Loop
The current loop accepts a demand from either the speed loop, or directly from the plant, and
forms an error signal which is the difference between demand and average value of feedback.
The error signal is fed into a Proportional + Integral compensator which produces the output of
the current loop, i.e. the firing angle signal.
In the Converter, the error signal is created in two different forms:
1. The average error is computed as the difference between demand and average value of
feedback and fed into the Integral part of the P + I algorithm.
2. The instantaneous error is computed as the difference between demand and instantaneous
value of feedback and is fed into the Proportional part of the P + I algorithm. This gives
higher transient performance since it does not contain any time lag, unlike the average which
has a built-in lag of 1/6 of mains cycle. However, the average is the true measurement of
torque which is the objective of the current control and this is not affected by the small time
lag in achieving zero steady-state error.
The firing angle signal is translated into a certain time delay from the mains zero cross point
(obtained via a Phase-Lock-Loop) and this results in a firing command being issued to the
thyristor stack every 1/6 of a mains cycle in steady-state.

Some special features of the current controller are discussed separately below.
Adaptive Current Control
The gain of a thyristor 6-pulse converter (voltage-time area over firing angle) drops dramatically
at discontinuous values of armature current. Therefore a gain boost is required in the current
controller to compensate for that.
In the Converter, this is handled by an adaptive algorithm which allows the current to follow the
demand in one step (firing) within the discontinuous region of operation.

Back EMF (BEMF) Estimate


With the motor at standstill, the firing angle for zero current is 120 degrees. When the motor is
rotating at different speeds the firing angle for zero current follows a cosine locus.
It is of paramount importance to track this locus as close as possible throughout the speed range
if the current loop bandwidth is to be maintained at its highest possible level during current
reversals from master to slave bridge and visa-versa.
There are two reasons for the loss of bandwidth at current reversals.
Firstly, the loss of converter gain needs to be compensated in an accurate way which is the
objective of the adaptive algorithm.
Secondly, the above algorithm also relies on the right start-up value of firing angle in the
incoming bridge in order to minimise both the "dead-time" (time interval of zero current referred
to below) as well as the rise time to the required current demand.
In order to get the right start-up value of firing angle the knowledge of the operating BEMF is
necessary. In the Converter, this is achieved by a combination of a hardware peak current
detector and appropriate software algorithm.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


9-2 Control Loops
Bridge Changeover Delay
The bridge changeover "dead-time", i.e. time interval of zero current, is programmable from 1 to
1500 (via Reserved Menu) with a default value of 1.
For values from 1 to 6:
The delay can be set at multiples of 1/6 mains period, i.e. max. 6 x 3.33 = 20ms at 50Hz. This is
relevant for use with large power converters where it is advisable to allow more time for
snubber currents to subside before reversal is enabled. It is also relevant for motors with very
large armature inductance where zero current detection is more sensitive and therefore a "factor
of safety" in the bridge changeover delay is advisable.
For values from 7 to 1500:
The delay corresponds to 7 x 1.33μs up to 1500 x 1.33μs = 2ms maximum.

Manual Tuning
Note: This procedure is rarely used or required, if possible use Autotune.
You may need to perform a manual tuning as Autotune does have two limitations:
1. It requires the field to be switched off and therefore the shaft will need clamping when
autotuning a permanent-magnet motor or very rarely with a wound-field motor of relatively
high permanent magnetism.
2. Part 1 of Autotune determines the discontinuous to continuous boundary level, i.e. the
average value at which the armature current becomes "just" continuous. This is achieved by
automatically disabling the field and advancing the firing angle at small steps until the slope
of the current "envelope" changes substantially indicating continuous region of operation.

Part 2 of Autotune applies a step change in the current demand within the continuous region
as determined by Part 1. When the current feedback approaches the final settling value
within 1 to 2 steps, the autotune function terminates and returns the "FIELD ENABLE" to its
previous state. The P & I gains and the value of discontinuous boundary current should then
be saved.

If the value of boundary current (Part 1) is very high (larger than 150% or so), then the
Autotune Part 2 step change will be in the region above 200% which might result in
overcurrent trip. In this case it is advisable to set the I gain to a large enough value (typically
10) to give fast response throughout the discontinuous region, a low value for the P gain
(typically 1, not important since there is no effective armature time constant in the
discontinuous region to compensate for) and finally eliminate the adaptive mode by setting
"Discontinuous" to zero. At the same time though, one must disable the Missing Pulse alarm;
this is activated when the load current is above the "Discontinuous" level and in this case it
would give erroneous trips if left enabled. In order to disable this alarm the special "super-
password" reserved for Parker SSD Drives personnel needs to be entered. Next in the
"Reserved" menu, which will then appear as a submenu of "SYSTEM", a parameter called
"Health Inhibit" should be set to the hexadecimal value 0x002.
The above suggestion assumes that the current limit will prevent the motor from operating in the
continuous region, i.e. above 150% in the example above. If this is not the case, as for example
when the current limit is set at 200%, then a manual tuning will be necessary.
Set the DISCONTINUOUS parameter to the correct value by disabling or disconnecting the
field, set the current limit to zero and start the drive. Gradually increase the current limit
observing the current feedback waveform (see Diagnostics below) on an oscilloscope beam.
When the pulses "just come together", with no zero interval between them, read the value of
current limit (or indeed current demand) and set the DISCONTINUOUS parameter to this value.
If this value is very high (above the current limit), then it should be set to zero and follow the
suggestion in 2 above. In this case the drive will not perform any adaption in the discontinuous
region, so some loss in performance may be noticed in the current loop response.

Subsequently either
• a squarewave signal should be applied to the current demand input (Terminal A3) with
Current Demand Isolate (terminal C8) on
• or "toggle" between two values of current limit into terminal A6 and operate in normal speed
loop mode.
Ideally this input signal should be offset above the Discontinuous level, such that the drive is
operating in the continuous current region. Then you could increase the value of I gain to give a
fast rise with no more than 10% overshoot and subsequently increase the P gain towards
critically damped response, i.e. practically no overshoot.

Tuning Hints
If the I gain is too high, the response will be underdamped (overshoot will be excessive with
long oscillatory settling). If the I gain is too low, the response will be overdamped (long
exponential rise).
With the I gain optimally set, if the P gain is too low the response will be overdamped. If P is
too high the response will revert to underdamped with the tendency to go totally unstable.

Diagnostics
The diagnostic point for "real" armature current is the first (left-hand side) test point below the
calibration panel. This will give 1.1V average for 100% current. It will also give the operating
bridge, i.e. it will be negative for the Master bridge (positive current demand) and positive for
the Slave bridge (negative current demand).

590 Series DC Digital Converter


9-4 Control Loops
Speed Loop
The speed loop accepts a demand from either an outside loop (i.e. position loop) or directly from
the plant and forms the error signal which is the difference between demand and feedback. The
error signal is fed into a Proportional + Integral compensator which produces the output of the
speed loop, i.e. the current demand signal.
The integral gain is translated into a Time Constant (secs) in the MMI which defines more
clearly the function of the compensator against a certain load time constant.

Speed Loop Synchronised with Current Loop


The proportional part of the P+I algorithm is executed immediately before each run of the
current loop, thus ensuring minimum time lag and therefore maximum bandwidth.

Combined Analog Tacho / Encoder Feedback


By using the analog tacho f/b on the Proportional part of the P + I algorithm and the encoder f/b
on the Integral part (using similar principle as in the current loop), the Converter combines
maximum transient response with the increased steady-state accuracy of the digital feedback.

Current Demand Rate Limit (di/dt)


Access to the di/dt limit is currently reserved for Parker SSD Drives personnel only in the
Reserved Menu.
This is a limit imposed on the rate of change of the current demand. It is to be used for motors
with commutation limitations, mechanical systems that cannot absorb rapid torque transients and
also as a means of limiting current overshoot for large current swings (e.g. 0 ¯ 200%). The
default value is set at 35% (i.e. maximum allowable change is 35% of FLC in 1/6 mains cycle)
which has no practical effect on the current response between 0 and 100%.

Field Control
Set-up Notes
The setting of the P + I gains for the current controller is done manually in much the same way
as described in Chapter 4: “Current Loop - Manual Tuning”, and one convenient way is to
switch several times from "quench" to "standby" mode and observe the current response 0 ¯
50% for rise time and overshoot.
The setting of the field weakening gains is achieved by observing the armature voltage feedback
for overshoot and settling time. The EMF GAIN parameter defaults to 0.30 (real gain of 30) and
normally lies in the region 0.20 to 0.70 (larger settings normally lead to instability). The EMF
LEAD parameter should be set at around the time constant for the field current loop. It defaults
to 2.00 (200ms). Finally, the EMF LAG parameter defaults to 40.00 (4000ms) and it should
generally lie in the region of 10 to 50 times the "emf lead".
The tuning of the field weakening loop is also very dependent on the acceleration rate through
base speed and visa-versa. If armature voltage overshoot is a problem for rapid acceleration
rates, then the use of the "feedback lead/lag" compensator is recommended to limit the
overshoot as discussed above. If not, then the default values for the above bemf fbk gains are
recommended (i.e. disabled) which will probably allow further increase in the forward path
transfer function gains ("emf gain" and "emf lead") for faster field response.
In summary, the increased attenuation at the higher frequencies will allow an increase in the
gain whilst maintaining the desired phase margin. Bearing in mind that the negative angle of the
compensator lowers the angle curve, in order to maintain the desired phase margin (45 to 60
degrees) a reduction in the phase-margin frequency is required. This is the frequency at which
the log magnitude curve crosses the 0db line. Since the phase-margin frequency is indicative of
the speed of response of the system, its reduction should be kept to a minimum. This is
achievable by trying to keep the value of the corner-frequency 1 / T1 as low as possible by
setting T1 at values greater than 100ms or so. The upper limit for T1 will be dictated by the
settling time requirement.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


Control Loops 9-5
Current Control
The field current loop can accept a demand directly from the plant and/or an outside field
weakening loop and forms the error signal which is the difference between demand and
feedback. The error signal is fed into a P + I compensator which produces the output of the field
loop, i.e. the field firing angle signal.
The firing angle signal is translated into a certain time delay from the mains zero cross point
(obtained via the same Phase-Lock-Loop as for the armature) and this results into a firing
command being issued to the field bridge every 1/2 of a mains cycle in steady-state.

Voltage Control
This offers the facility of an open-loop voltage control for motors which do not provide in the
nameplate the field current rating. The field voltage is controlled by the specified RATIO
OUT/IN which defaults to 90%. This is the maximum dc Volts that can be obtained for a given
ac RMS input in a single-phase rectifier, i.e. 370V dc for 415V ac supply. The specified ratio
determines directly the firing angle at which the controller operates and therefore the thermal
effects on the field resistance as well as mains voltage variations are not compensated for. It is
also worth noting that in this mode the field overcurrent alarm is not active (since there is no
current scaling) and therefore this mode is not recommended for use with supplies much greater
than the field voltage rating.

Field Weakening
The field weakening loop accepts a demand for MAX VOLTS (default 100%) and forms the
error signal which is the difference between demand and arm. volts feedback. The error signal is
fed into a Lead/Lag compensator which produces the output of the field weakening loop, i.e. the
field weakening demand. This gets subtracted from the field setpoint (default 100%) to produce
the field demand into the field current loop. A MIN FLD CURRENT parameter (default 10%)
limits the minimum level in the field weakening region.
The Lead/Lag compensator has a dc gain ("emf gain" = Kp), a lead time constant ("emf lead" =
T1) and a lag time constant ("emf lag" = T2).
Note: Field weakening is not possible when running with Armature Volts feedback. Although
field weakening can be “enabled” in this instance, a software interlock clamps the field
demand at 100% and will not allow the field weakening to reduce it.

Lead/Lag
The slight disadvantage of Lead/Lag { transfer function = Kp * ( 1+sT1 ) / ( 1+sT2 ) }
versus P + I { transfer function = Kp * ( 1+sT ) / sT } is that the DC gain is not "infinity"
and therefore there is a "finite" steady-state error. This is kept sufficiently small for values of
"emf gain" > 0.20 ( i.e. real 20).
The advantage of the Lead/Lag is that it allows greater attenuation at higher frequencies. The
high frequency gain is Kp T1 / T2 and therefore by keeping the ratio T2 / T1 high (generally at
values above 10) the log magnitude is reduced by 20log(T2/T1) for frequencies above 1 / T1.
An extra feedback lead/lag compensator has been added into the arm. volts f/b to minimise the
overshoot in volts. This is particularly useful when accelerating fast through base speed and
therefore increasing the motor bemf at a faster rate than the field current can possibly weaken,
due to the normally large field time constant. The ratio of "bemf fbk lead" / "bemf fbk lag"
should always be greater than 1 to give a "lead" function to allow the field to start weakening
early enough. However, it is not recommended to raise the ratio much higher than 2 to 3 times,
otherwise instability will start creeping in. The absolute setting of the above parameters in
milliseconds depends on the overall field time constant. The default value is set to 1 (100ms /
100ms) which means that the function is disabled.

Standby Field
When the armature current gets quenched, a timer starts timing-out and after a certain delay
("fld quench delay") it will either quench the field totally ("fld quench mode" = "quench") or
will reduce it to 50% of the current or voltage setpoint ("fld quench mode" = "standby"). This
applies to both current and voltage modes.

Earthing/Safety Details
Earthing Permanent earthing is mandatory on all units because the earth leakage current exceeds 3.5mA
ac/10mA dc under normal operating conditions. Permanent earthing can be laid in two ways::
1. By using a copper conductor of at least 10mm² cross-sectional area.
2. By using a second conductor, through separate terminals electrically parallel to the
protective conductor.
Note: Each conductor itself must meet the local requirements for a protective earth
conductor.
Input Supply Details Units with or without external filters are suitable for use on earth referenced (TN) supplies, but
units used with a filter are not recommended for non-earth referenced (IT) supplies..
(TN) and (IT)
Earth Leakage Current >50mA (all models)

External field supply External single phase ac Line 2 input to field bridge. 500V ac maximum, D2
FL2 50-60Hz line-to-line

Required AC Input Voltage = 1.11 x Nominal DC Output.

The field regulator will control the field current provided that the
Nominal DC Output voltage exceeds the field voltage by at
least 10%.
i.e. VAC = 1.11 x VDC
and VDC = 1.1 x VFIELD
therefore VAC = 1.22 x VFIELD
The external AC supply must be fitted with high speed fuses to
protect the field regulator. For controllers with 10A field
capability 10A fuses should be used, those with 20A field
capability 20A fuses.
Note: When using an external ac input it is important to have
the correct phase relationship on the terminals. The supply
must be derived from L1 (Red) and L2 (Yellow) phases directly or
indirectly through a transformer. L1 must be connected to D1,
and L2 to D2.

The DC output voltage at these terminals will depend upon the


AC supply voltage and the mode of field control.

Voltage Control
The output voltage will be determined by the ratio parameter in
the field variables. The relationship between the dc output
voltage and AC input voltage is determined by the equation:-
Vratio x VAC
Vdc =
100
The default value of Vratio is 90% hence the DC output voltage
will be the same as for a full wave diode rectifier i.e., 90% is
maximum output.

This terminal is the switched output from the contactor control

The output is internally fused at 3A hence contactor coils having
a high pick-up current must be operated via a slave relay.

Note: The contacts of the Contactor Control Relay are


suppressed by a series connected resistor (680 Ohms) and
capacitor (22nF) to protect the relay contacts. Users should be
aware that when the contactor Control Relay is “De-energised”,
a leakage current of approximately 2mA can be expected and
this should be considered when interfacing to these terminals.
Typically, there could be the energisation of very sensitive relays.

Caution
The integration of this product into other apparatus or systems is not the responsibility of
Parker SSD Drives Ltd, with respect to applicability, effectivity, or safety of operation of
the other apparatus or systems.

Requirements for EMC Compliance


All Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) potentially produce electrical emissions which are radiated
into the environment and conducted back into the ac supply. VSDs are inherently immune to
any additional external electrical noise. The following information is provided to maximise the
Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) of VSDs and systems in their intended operating
environment, by minimising their emissions and maximising their immunity.

Minimising Radiated Emissions


EN55011/EN55022 radiated emission measurements are made between 30MHz and 1GHz in
the far field at a distance of 10 to 30 metres. Limits lower than 30MHz or in close proximity are
not specified. Emissions from individual components tend to be additive.
• Use a screened/armoured cable between VSD/cubicle and motor containing the motor
protective earth (PE) connection. It should have a 360° screen termination. Earth screen at
both ends connecting to the motor frame and cubicle. Maintain the screen integrity using
360° terminations.
Note: Some hazardous area installations may preclude direct earthing at both ends of the
screen, in this case earth one end via a 1μF 50Vac capacitor, and the other as normal.
• Keep unshielded cable as short as possible inside the cubicle.
• Always maintain the integrity of the shield.
• If the cable is interrupted to insert contactors etc., re-connect the screen using the shortest
possible route.
• Keep the length of screen stripped-back as short as possible when making screen
connections.
• Ideally use 360° screen terminations using cable glands or `U’ clips on power screen rails.
If a shielded cable is not available, lay unshielded motor cables in a metal conduit which will act
as a shield. The conduit must be continuous with a direct electrical contact to the VSD and
motor housing. If links are necessary, use braid with a minimum cross sectional area of 10mm2.
Note: Some motor gland boxes and conduit glands are made of plastic, if this is the case, then
braid must be connected between the screen and the chassis. In addition at the motor
end, ensure that the screen is electrically connected to the motor frame since some
terminal boxes are insulated from the frame by gasket/paint.

Earthing Requirements
IMPORTANT: Protective earthing always takes precedence over EMC earthing.

Protective Earth (PE) Connections


Note: In accordance with installations to EN60204, only one protective earth conductor is
permitted at each protective earth terminal contacting point.
Local wiring regulations may require the protective earth connection of the motor to be
connected locally, i.e. not as specified in these instructions. This will not cause shielding
problems because of the relatively high RF impedance of the local earth connection.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


12-2 Certification for the Converter
EMC Earth Connections
For compliance with EMC requirements, we recommend that the “0V/signal ground” is
separately earthed. When a number of units are used in a system, these terminals should be
connected together at a single, local earthing point.
Control and signal cables for the encoder, all analogue inputs, and communications require
screening with the screen connected only at the VSD end. However, if high frequency noise is
still a problem, earth screen at the non VSD end via a 0.1μF capacitor.
Note: Connect the screen (at the VSD end) to the VSD protective point, and not to the control
board terminals.

Cabling Requirements
Note: Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” for additional Cabling Requirements.

Planning Cable Runs


• Use the shortest possible motor cable lengths.
• Use a single length of cable to a star junction point to feed multiple motors.
• Keep electrically noisy and sensitive cables apart.
• Keep electrically noisy and sensitive parallel cable runs to a minimum. Separate parallel
cable runs by at least 0.25 metres. For runs longer than 10 metres, separation should be
increased proportionally. For example if the parallel runs were 50m, then the separation
would be (50/10) x 0.25m = 1.25m.
• Sensitive cables should cross noisy cables at 90°.
• Never run sensitive cables close or parallel to the motor, dc link and braking chopper circuit
for any distance.
• Never run supply, dc link or motor cables in the same bundle as the signal/control and
feedback cables, even if they are screened.
• Ensure EMC filter input and output cables are separately routed and do not couple across
the filter.

Increasing Motor Cable Length


Because cable capacitance and hence conducted emissions increase with motor cable length,
conformance to EMC limits is only guaranteed with the specified ac supply filter option using a
maximum cable length as specified in Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications”.
This maximum cable length can be improved using the specified external input or output filters.
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - External Filters.
Screened/armoured cable has significant capacitance between the conductors and screen which
increases linearly with cable length (typically 200pF/m but varies with cable type and current
rating).
Long cable lengths may have the following undesirable effects:
• Producing increased conducted emissions which degrade the performance of the EMC filter
due to saturation.
• Causing RCDs (Residual Current Devices) to trip due to increased high frequency earth
current.
• Producing increased heating inside the EMC ac supply filter from the increased conducted
emissions.
These effects can be overcome by adding chokes or output filters at the output of the VSD.

EMC Installation Options
The unit, when installed for Class B operation, will be compliant with EN55011 (1991)/
EN55022 (1994) for radiated emissions, as described below.

Screening & Earthing (cubicle mounted, Class B)


Note: The installation requirements of local safety standards must be achieved regarding the
safety of electrical equipment for machines.
The unit is installed for Class B operation when mounted inside a cubicle having 10dB
attenuation between 30 and 100MHz (typically the attenuation provided by a metal cabinet with
no aperture of dimension greater than 0.15m), using the recommended ac supply filter and
having met all cabling requirements.
Note: Radiated magnetic and electric fields inside the cubicle will be high and any components
fitted inside must be sufficiently immune.
The VSD, external filter and associated equipment are mounted on to a conducting, metal
mounting panel. Do not use cubicle constructions that use insulating mounting panels or
undefined mounting structures. Cables between the VSD and motor must be screened or
armoured and terminated at the VSD or locally on the back panel.

Single VSD - Single Motor


Apply a single point series earthing strategy for a single VSD mounted in a cubicle as shown.
The protective earth connection (PE) to the motor must be run inside the screened cable between
the motor and VSD and be connected to a separate star point earth terminal near the VSD.

A star-point earthing policy separates `noisy’ and `clean’ earths. Four separate earth busbars
(three are insulated from the mounting panel) connect to a single earth point (star point) near the
incoming safety earth from the main supply. Flexible, large cross-section cable is used to ensure
a low HF impedance. Busbars are arranged so that connection to the single earth point is as

Used for all power earths, i.e. protective earth connection. It is also used as a reference for any
110 or 220V control used, and for the control transformer screen.

3 Metal Work Earth Busbar


The back panel is used as this earth busbar, and should provide earthing points for all parts of
the cubicle including panels and doors. This busbar is also used for power screened cables
which terminate near to (10cm) the VSD - such as motor cables, braking choppers and their
resistors, or between VSDs. Use U-clips to clamp the screened cables to the back panel to
ensure optimum HF connection.

4 Signal/Control Screen Earth Busbar (insulated from the mounting panel)


Used for signal/control screened cables which do not go directly to the VSD. Place this busbar
as close as possible to the point of cable entry. `U’ clamp the screened cables to the busbars to
ensure an optimum HF connection.

Sensitive Equipment
The proximity of the source and victim circuit has a large effect on radiated coupling. The
electromagnetic fields produced by VSDs falls off rapidly with distance from the
cabling/cubicle. Remember that the radiated fields from EMC compliant drive systems are
measured at least 10m from the equipment, over the band 30-1000MHz. Any equipment placed
closer than this will see larger magnitude fields, especially when very close to the Converter.
Do not place magnetic/electric field sensitive equipment within 0.25 metres of the following
parts of the VSD system:
• Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
• EMC output filters
• Input or output chokes/transformers
• The cable between VSD and motor (even when screened/armoured)
• Connections to external braking chopper and resistor (even when screened/armoured)
• AC/DC brushed motors (due to commutation)
• DC link connections (even when screened/armoured)
• Relays and contactors (even when suppressed)
From experience, the following equipment is particularly sensitive and requires careful
installation.
• Any transducers which produce low level analogue outputs (<1V) , e.g. load cells, strain
gauges, thermocouples, piezoelectric transducers, anemometers, LVDTs
• Wide band width control inputs (>100Hz)
• AM radios (long and medium wave only)
• Video cameras and closed circuit TV
• Office personal computers
• Capacitive devices such as proximity sensors and level transducers
• Mains borne communication systems
• Equipment not suitable for operation in the intended EMC environment, i.e. with
insufficient immunity to new EMC standards

Requirements for UL Compliance


Motor Overload Protection
Note: An external motor overload protective device must be provided by the installer.
Motor overload protection is provided in the controller by means of the thermal device in the
motor winding. This protection cannot be evaluated by UL, hence it is the responsibility of the
installer and/or the local inspector to determine whether the overload protection is in compliance
with the National Electrical Code or Local Code requirements.

Branch Circuit/Short Circuit Protection Requirements


UL Recognized Component (JFHR2) semiconductor fuses with current ratings and maximum
I2t ratings as specified below must be installed upstream of the controller. Refer to the table

European Directives and the CE Mark


The following information is supplied to provide a basic understanding of the EMC and low
voltage directives CE marking requirements. The following literature is recommended for
further information:
• Recommendations for Application of Power Drive Systems (PDS), European Council
Directives - CE Marking and Technical Standardisation - (CEMEP)
Available from your local trade association or Parker SSD Drives office
• EMC Installation Guidelines for Modules and Systems - (SSD Drives)
Available from your local Parker SSD Drives office, part number HA388879
• Short Form Overview of European Directives for Variable Speed Drives and Applications -
(SSD Drives)
Available from your local Parker SSD Drives office, part number HA389770
The European machines and drives manufacturers via their national trade associations have
formed the European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and Power
Electronics (CEMEP). Parker SSD Drives and other major European drives manufacturers are
working to the CEMEP recommendations on CE marking. The CE mark shows that a product
complies with the relevant EU directives, in our case the Low Voltage Directive and, in some
instances, the EMC Directive.

CE Marking for Low Voltage Directive


When installed in accordance with this manual, the 590 Series Converter is CE marked by
Parker SSD Drives Ltd in accordance with the low voltage directive (S.I. No. 3260 implements
this LVD directive into UK law). An EC Declaration of Conformity (low voltage directive) is
included at the end of this chapter.

CE Marking for EMC - Who is Responsible?


Note: The specified EMC emission and immunity performance of this unit can only be achieved
when the unit is installed to the EMC Installation Instructions given in this manual.
According to S.I. No. 2373 which implements the EMC directive into UK law, the requirement
for CE marking this unit falls into two categories:
1. Where the supplied unit has an intrinsic/direct function to the end user, then the unit is
classed as relevant apparatus.
2. Where the supplied unit is incorporated into a higher system/apparatus or machine which
includes (at least) the motor, cable and a driven load but is unable to function without this
unit, then the unit is classed as a component.

Q Relevant Apparatus - Parker SSD Drives Responsibility


Occasionally, say in a case where an existing fixed speed motor - such as a fan or pump - is
converted to variable speed with an add-on drive module (relevant apparatus), it becomes the
responsibility of Parker SSD Drives to apply the CE mark and issue an EC Declaration of
Conformity for the EMC Directive. This declaration and the CE mark is included at the end of
this chapter.

Q Component - Customer Responsibility


The majority of Parker SSD Drives’ products are classed as components and therefore we
cannot apply the CE mark or produce an EC Declaration of Conformity in respect of EMC. It is
therefore the manufacturer/supplier/installer of the higher system/apparatus or machine who
must conform to the EMC directive and CE mark.

590 Series DC Digital Converter


Certification for the Converter 12-9
Legal Requirements for CE Marking
IMPORTANT: Before installation, clearly understand who is responsible for conformance with the EMC
directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is a criminal offence.
It is important that you have now defined who is responsible for conforming to the EMC
directive, either:

Q Parker SSD Drives Responsibility


You intend to use the unit as relevant apparatus.
When the specified EMC filter is correctly fitted to the unit following EMC installation
instructions, it complies with the relevant standards indicated in the following tables. The fitting
of the filter is mandatory for the CE marking of this unit to apply.
The relevant declarations are to be found at the end of this chapter. The CE mark is displayed on
the EC Declaration of Conformity (EMC Directive) provided at the end of this chapter.

Q Customer Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as a component, therefore you have a choice:
1. To fit the specified filter following EMC installation instructions, which may help you gain
EMC compliance for the final machine/system.
2. Not to fit the specified filter, but use a combination of global or local filtering and screening
methods, natural migration through distance, or the use of distributed parasitic elements of
the existing installation.
Note: When two or more EMC compliant components are combined to form the final
machine/system, the resulting machine/system may no longer be compliant, (emissions
tend to be additive, immunity is determined by the least immune component). Understand
the EMC environment and applicable standards to keep additional compliance costs to a
minimum.

Applying for CE Marking for EMC


We have supplied a Manufacturer’s EMC Declaration at the end of this chapter that you can use
as a basis for your own justification of overall compliance with the EMC directive. There are
three methods of demonstrating conformity:
1. Self-certification to a relevant standard
2. Third party testing to a relevant standard
3. Writing a technical construction file stating the technical rationale as to why your final
machine/system is compliant. An EMC “competent body” must then assess this and issue a
technical report or certificate to demonstrate compliance.
Refer to Article 10(2) of Directive 89/336/EEC.
With EMC compliance, an EC Declaration of Conformity and the CE mark will be issued for
your final machine/system.
IMPORTANT: Professional end users with EMC expertise who are using drive modules and cubicle
systems defined as components who supply, place on the market or install the relevant
apparatus must take responsibility for demonstrating EMC conformance and applying
the CE mark and issuing an EC Declaration of Conformity.

Power supplies for the controller are generated from the single phase auxiliary supply via a
switched mode power supply. The incoming supply is directly rectified to provide a high
voltage dc power rail. A high voltage transistor switches this rail on to the primary of a high
frequency transformer, the output of which is rectified and smoothed to provide the dc power
supply rails. The +5V dc rail is monitored via a reference element and a control signal returned
via an opto-isolator to the control element of the high voltage switching transistor. The ±15V dc
rails are generated via separate secondary windings which are rectified, smoothed and stabilised
by linear regulators. The SMPS operates over an input voltage range of 110V to 240V ac ±10%,
50/60Hz. The auxiliary supply fuse FS1 provides protection of the high voltage elements.

598/599 Power Board (AH385128U009)
External stack drives from 720A upwards
The power supplies for the controller are generated from the single phase auxiliary supply via
the control transformer. A bridge rectifier and filter capacitor feed an unregulated 40V dc supply
to a high-efficiency switched mode pre-regulator. This generates 24V dc which is used for
thyristor stack firing, digital I/O and other power functions. The logic supply is stabilised to
+5V using a high-efficiency switched mode regulator. Stabilised ±15V supplies are generated
for the analog hardware. All power supplies are short circuit protected, and the 40V and 5V
supplies are protected against over voltage using a crowbar protection. The control transformer
is provided with two primary taps which allow auxiliary supply voltages of 110V ac and 240V
ac. The auxiliary supply fuse FS3 on the power supply PCB protects the control transformer
primary. This fuse is also cleared should the crowbar operate, which can happen if the wrong
auxiliary supply voltage tap is selected. Fuses FS1 and FS2 protect the cooling fan, and also the
main contactor on 110/120V boards and the pilot relay on 220/240V boards.
This board is suitable for either 110-240V or 220-240V and is altered by a simple transformer
tap change.

Heatsink Cooling Fan Connections


When fitted, these fans are connected on the power board to FAN LIVE (F27), FAN
NEUTRAL (F24) and FAN COMMON (F23) as described below:
• A single fan should be matched to the auxiliary supply and connected to F27 and F24.
• Two fans using a 110/115V auxiliary supply should be connected in parallel to F27 and F24.
• Two fans using a 220/240V auxiliary supply should be connected in series to F27 and F24
using F23 as the centre point.

Contactor Supply
The controller requires an ac or dc D5 D6

F26 power contactor in series with the


D7 D8

F21
F22
F28
F27

main power path to ensure correct power-up sequencing. This contactor


FS1

F25

F23 F24

is directly initiated by the Microcontroller via an isolating relay


which drives the contactor coil with the same voltage as that of the auxiliary supply.
This is achieved by the brown wire connection from COIL LIVE (F28) to RELAY (F25) and
the blue wire connection from COIL NEUTRAL (F21) to CONTACTOR RETURN (F26).
However, if an alternative supply for the contactor coil is required move the brown wire from
F25 to F22 , and move the blue wire from F21 to F25. The external coil supply can now be
switched using a volt-free contact between terminals D5 and D6.

UDP Support
The P3 port can be used to transfer an ASCII representation of the converter's settings between
the Converter and a host computer.
The transfer uses a simple ASCII file structure and XON / XOFF protocol. This is provided by
most communications packages. Host computers tested include IBM PCs XT/AT, running both
Windows and MSDOS, Psion Organiser 3 and many more.
Transferring data from the Converter to a host computer is defined as “Downloading” ,whereas
transferring data from a host computer to the Converter is defined as “Uploading”.

UDP UpLoad (UDP XFER <- P3)
This is the transfer of the parameters from the host computer to the Converter. This information
is written directly to EEprom, so all the drive's current settings will MMI Menu Map
be overwritten.
1 SERIAL LINKS
• Connect the Converter to the host using the appropriate lead.
2 SYSTEM PORT P3
• Using a standard communications package prepare the host to DUMP MMI -> P3
transfer an ASCII file. Remember to set up the host's serial port first. UDP XFER <- P3
UDP XFER -> P3
• Set the P3 MODE parameter to DISABLE.
• Start uploading on the Converter by selecting UDP XFER <- P3 on the MMI and pressing

information fully documents the Converter's settings in a textual format that is clear and easy to
read.
• Connect the Converter to the host using the appropriate lead.
• Using a standard communications package prepare the host to receive an ASCII file.
Remember to set up the host's serial port first.
• Perform a PARAMETER SAVE of the Converter's settings. This ensures the Dump matches
the Converter’s settings, (the listing is of the current settings, NOT the saved settings held in
EEprom).
• Set the P3 MODE parameter to DISABLE.
• Prepare the host PC to receive a file; use the file extension .MMI to differentiate it from
.UDP format files.
• Start downloading on the Converter by selecting DUMP MMI -> P3 on the MMI and
pressing the UP (↑) key, as instructed.
• The file ends in a ctrl-z. With some packages this automatically closes the file but if this is
not the case, when the Converter says it has finished and the host has stopped scrolling text,

5703 Support
This unit provides the facility to run a line of converters in speed-lock without the use of a 5720
Quadraloc controller; for accurate speed-holding, encoder feedback is required. Ratioed speed-
locking is supported, although the unit is not intended to replace the Quadraloc in applications
requiring high accuracy.
A 16-bit speed signal is passed between drives through a fibre-optic link and the P3 port on each
Converter (a port otherwise used only off-line for the upload and download of EEPROM data).
The port operates RS232 compatible signal levels, the 5703/1 converts these signal levels to
fibre optic signals for transmission and from fibre optics to RS232 for reception.

Hardware Description
The 5703/1 is housed in a DIN rail mounted box and is provided with a ribbon cable to connect
into the P3 port. The ribbon cable is 400 mm long to limit transmission errors, the primary unit -
to-unit interconnection is intended to be achieved by a fibre optic cable.
The 5703 unit itself is simply an electric signal-to-light converter and does not alter the signal in
any way, this is achieved within the software data of the Converter.

It is fitted with one fibre optic receiver and two fibre optic transmitters, the fibre optic receiver
has a fixed function to receive data from the preceding unit while the transmitter sends data to
the following unit. The additional transmitter can be used either to re-transmit the incoming
signal or provide a second transmission of the output signal, this gives the unit wide
functionality. When the link is in the normal right hand position, assuming the board is mounted
with the fibre optics downward, the second transmitter repeats the output signal. In the left hand
position it repeats the input signal.
The 5703/1 can be configured to point to any relevant parameter in the block diagram, the
default connections are such that the scaled input is connected to the "additional speed demand"
and the output to the "speed demand".

The Inputs of the Drive 5703 OUTPUT

The speed setpoint from the 5703/1 enters the drive via the P3 port and, after scaling, is added
together with analog inputs 1, 2 and 3 (ramped).
IN BASIC TACHO-FOLLOWER MODE, ALL THE ANALOG INPUTS MUST BE
DISABLED TO PREVENT LOSS OF ACCURACY, yet it may be necessary in some
applications to provide analog inputs for trim signals or inch setpoints:
1. The ramp input may be disabled by taking terminal C7 (Ramp Hold) permanently high; the
ramp is automatically cleared when the drive is quenched, and its output will never move
from (exactly) zero. The ramp input may often be of use in line master drives; but the ramp
should be disabled in slave drives. Note that the P3 setpoint may be passed through the ramp
function; in such a case, the analog input to the ramp (terminal A4) is automatically
disconnected.
2. Analog input 1 (terminal A2) is used for inch setpoints. During normal running, the terminal
is shorted to 0V and the deadband function is used so that no signal at all passes to the
summing junction. The analog inch setpoints are set a little above the threshold of the
deadband so as to give the required inching speeds, forward or backward. Selection between
analog inching and absolutely zero analog input is thus accomplished automatically.
3. Analog input 2 (terminal A3) may be disabled by writing zero to its scaling block; this will
normally be done through the MMI at commissioning, but may be overridden by the serial
link. Alternatively, this input may be used for a local analog trim.

Error Codes
ERROR REPORT (EE)
The EI-BISYNCH Prime Set contains the EE mnemonic. This is also an output parameter in the
MAIN PORT (P1), AUX PORT (P2) and SYSTEM PORT (P3) function blocks, where the
parameter value can be read and reset. Refer to the COMMS Option Technical Manual for
further details.
The following values are returned if an enquiry (reading information from the Converter) is
performed on this Read/Write parameter.
Writing any value to this parameter will set the value to >00C0. Clearing the last error value
may be useful in seeing a repetitive error re-occurring.
